Blue Tsunami!
The hosts of Pod Save America — Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer, and Tommy Vietor — record a late-night reaction show immediately after a historic Democratic midterm landslide, which they call a 'blue nami.' Democrats are projected to win roughly 55 Senate seats, a House majority of 254-255 seats, and a wave of governorships, including Texas, in what the hosts describe as the biggest electoral repudiation of Donald Trump and his party in modern history.

Trump Puts the Mid in Midterms
On the final Pod Save America before the 2026 midterms, hosts Jon and Dan survey the closing landscape: Trump's rambling, self-defeating rally for Darline Graham in South Carolina, a stunning Times/Siena poll showing Annie Andrews tied at 48-48, Barack Obama's viral Cheesecake Factory counterattack in Georgia, the Alaska ballot-stacking controversy with Mary Peltola and the two Dan Sullivans, and a detailed map of what to watch on election night — all while reassuring anxious listeners that the polling environment points to a genuine Democratic wave.
